Morning from a rather hazy and overcast Manchester.

In with the hoi polloi in the library again.
It's much less "fragrant" than yesterday.
This lot must be able to afford soap.
I take it back, someone just did a silent but deadly.
And it's Lego day again.
But rather than Foundation Degree students with Mindstorms it's 3 & 4 year olds making a racket.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 16 April 2019, 09:55.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Morning denizens
Bit of thin overcast with a reasonable amount of sun getting through here
Not as warm as it could be, but we're used to that by now
Chance of some of DrS's drizzliness making its way over here this afternoon, though

Couldn't sleep again?
Time to wend my weary way to the public lavatory for a slash.

Me too.Originally posted by NickFitz View PostLots to think about doing today!
First I thought about going for a slash then decided I'd do it at home.
Then once I'd done that I thought about a nice bonfire since it's raining and no one had washing out.
So I did, and burned a shedload of crap that had been hanging about rather too long.
Then I thought about lunch and had Heinz beans on toast (Morrisons, Ancient Grain), with another quarter of pork pie (Morrisons, reduced) and a Scotch Egg (Morrisons, reduced).
It was all very nice.
Then I finished reading my current book, a slim tome (123 pages) about Alan Turing, written by Nigel Cawthorne.
It was enjoyable though predictably sad at the end.

Now I'm thinking about doing the dishes & finding sommat else to think about after that.
I've had Hodges book about Turing for over 20 years but the 600 page length of it is a bit offputting.
Done the dishes.
Now I'm thinking about having another slash & cleaning my teeth, not necessarily in that order.
And I've found one of the early references to Colossus in New Scientist 10th Feb 1977:

Lunch has been tomato soup, with a couple of thick slices of wholemeal toast. Very nice it was
And whilst guzzling that, I watched Countdown on C4+1, which reminded me that this Friday:

Our promised rain hasn't happened. Well, not yet anyway. Looking at the satellite thingy, it seems we'll be spared after all.Comment
